Two weeks after first reporting a potential data breach, the city of Princeton has confirmed that confidential information and personally identifiable information was downloaded from municipal computer systems.
On Sept. 18, Princeton said it was investigating what was called a “cybersecurity incident involving potential unauthorized access to certain city systems and data.”
Four days later, an update referred to an “alleged cybersecurity incident” and said two independent reviews had been conducted by cybersecurity experts.
“Based on the information currently available, neither review has identified evidence indicating unauthorized access to city systems, a confirmed data breach or unauthorized data exfiltration,” the Sept. 22 notice said.

“The city is working with cybersecurity professionals to determine the full scope of the incident, including what information was involved and which individuals may be affected,” the notice said.
